JuxtaProse Literary Magazine, long one of the best online journals of poetry and prose (fiction and essays), went dark many months ago, and speculation was that it had folded for good. The editors didn’t say boo for many months, and now—voila! Volume 28 has appeared without fanfare or explanation. Since I have work in its pages, I’m especially glad for it. I could have used some communication, of course, but the fact that the journal’s broken existence was there for all to see gave me a strange kind of confidence that the editors were working away at something and would eventually release it to the world.
So: many thanks to the JuxtaProse team—Seth and Jennifer Luke, Julie Erickson, Ann Brandon, and Avery Baker—for reestablishing the presence of this fine journal.

A fine journal! And a cricket switch at dusk is pretty wonderful. Transitions are magical sometimes, as in this poem.
